you would be God if you posted a walkthrough.![]()
As it turns out, Buggyme actually recommended that I emulate Windows to run uTorrent. I should be setting it up tomorrow. I'll still try to look into setting up torrentflux, though, may even try to set it up.

Seriously guys, don't install TF...it's honestly not a great client, and I don't even think it's allowed on some trackers.
There are SO many more options if you have a linux server. Azureus, ktorrent, etc.
Azureus can run without a GUI, and there are at least 2 web interface plugins for it. Plus, it's allowed on every tracker out there since it's Azureus.
Of course, Azureus isn't very efficient either with the java, but if you do some research there's definitely a LOT of other linux clients out there, MANY of which have web interface plugins (although, I will say that with Ktorrent the stupid web interface seems to crash Ktorrent itself very easily, which is sad because it's a lot more efficient than azureus otherwise).
Honestly I have no clue why torrentflux is even popular.
And of course there's always just running utorrent under wine. Why in the world would you run torrentflux lol.
I think I will make a walkthrough for installing uTorrent and WebUI.
Do you think it's better to run uTorrent in WINE or just run ktorrent? So far I've been pretty happy with ktorrent except the stupid webui plugin for it will cause ktorrent to go seppuku on itself, and for some weird reason I can't find anybody else complaining about this on google so I couldn't troubleshoot it =(
On a side note, if anybody here wants to install ktorrent on fedora core...don't bother trying to compile it yourself since it will basically drive you slowly insane as you fix every compiling error only to find that it's still uncompilable. So just get it off of yum (and no, I have no idea why I thought it'd be a good idea to compile it myself, maybe just for old school's sake)

TorrentFlux works fine, and is very simple to install using XAMPP. Install XAMPP, put the TF files on the server, and thats pretty much it.
Simple. And sure it uses a bit of resources, but it isn't too bad.
I looked it over and the Ktorrent webui bug that's been crashing my ktorrent is kinda weird...it's basically not seeing my php even though it's there...very bizarre.
Other than that though, ktorrent is VERY nice, so I've basically just been living without the web interface. It supports directory scanning which does provide an alternative for remote loading of torrents, although it seems like most people don't have problems with the webui like I do...very bizarre that I seem to be one of the only people afflicted by this bug.
Anyways I'm gonna install wine and see if utorrent is better/worse than ktorrent. I read a couple of people say ktorrent is better than utorrent+wine, but this webui bug is really quite annoying to me.
EDIT: actually...I'm retesting the webui now, and I'm thinking the crashing might have to do with using Opera with the webui, since it apparently does not play well with the webui.

I run Azureus on mine and love it
